Abstract: To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on the iNOS mRNA-iNOS-NO signaling pathway and neurofunction protected in a rat spinal cord injury model. A total of 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group...
Abstract: To study the effects of ultra-early stage hyperbaric oxygenation on the hind limb bone mineral density in rats after complete spinal cord transection. 55 SD rats were randomly assigned into three groups: sham-operated group (Sham); complete spinal cord...
Abstract: In order to develop more sensitive imaging tools for clinical use and basic research of spinal decompression sickness (DCS), we used diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) validated by histology to assess DCS-related tissue injury in sheep spinal cords. DTI is based on...
Abstract: To evaluate the clinical effects of hyperbaric oxygention (HBO) in treating hypermyotonia caused by spinal cord injury (SCI). From March 2009 to April 2011, 80 patients with hypermyotonia caused by SCI were divided into treatment group and control group,...
Abstract: It is a common belief that neurosurgical interventions can cause inevitable damage resulting from the procedure itself in surgery especially for intramedullary spinal cord tumors. The present study was designed to examine if hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning...
Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious health issue that may result in high health care costs, with additional social and psychological burdens. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment has been found to be beneficial for neurological recovery; however, the...
Abstract: Experimental, controlled, animal study. To evaluate the functional effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy administered shortly, one day after, and no intervention (control) in standardized experimental spinal cord lesions in Wistar rats. São Paulo, Brazil. In...
Abstract: Spinal cord trauma is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Although no known treatment for spinal cord injury exists, a limited number of effective treatment modalities and procedures are available that improve secondary injury. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO)...
Abstract: Decompression sickness often manifests as central nervous system impairment. We report a 49-year-old woman who developed an unusual case of spinal cord decompression sickness presenting as complete Brown-Sequard syndrome. Initial MRI revealed increased...
